{{w|Katamari Damacy}} is a Japanese video game in which the player must roll around an infinitely sticky katamari ball, cottoning up objects and terrain to increase the ball's size. In this comic, [[Cueball]] uses the katamari as an analogy for his love for [[Megan]], pushing it to such embarrassing extremes that Megan feels the need to remark whether he could "possibly get any gayer." At this point, Cueball wins the level he is playing and is transported by a "Royal Rainbow," an in-game occurrence at the completion of each level. The rainbow is a symbol of gay pride, in addition to being just a generally happy (i.e. gay) idea. | {{w|Katamari Damacy}} is a Japanese video game in which the player must roll around an infinitely sticky katamari ball, cottoning up objects and terrain to increase the ball's size.

This possibly a criticism of male selfishness (perhaps Randall's self-criticism), in that males do not discuss romantic ideas, except as a way out. |
The ''King of All Cosmos'', mentioned in the title text, is an instructive character in all of the Katamari games. The title text points out that perhaps we either like or love video games not because they are fun, but because they let us forget our problems and retreat into someone else or an intricate fantasy. | The ''King of All Cosmos'', mentioned in the title text, is an instructive character in all of the Katamari games.
